Every season there are players who seem to appear out of nowhere and explode onto the scene. This year is no different as there are several candidates who have taken advantage of a strong senior season to become major prospects though not much is known about them outside coaching circles.

One such player is wide receiver Rashad Mason (6-6, 220, 4.5) from Nashville (Tenn.) Pearl Cohn.

Mason currently has offers from UCLA, Michigan, Louisville, Kentucky and Ole Miss. LSU recently called after viewing his tape.
